Do you like me?

Lian Qing frowned tightly and scolded in a cold voice.
Enough!
Nangong Banxia stood still, quickly walked out of the water, and explained cautiously.
"I..."
"Hmph!"
Wen Zixian snorted coldly, walked past him, and stood next to the woman in silence.
Luzhezhi held the delicate pastry and handed it to the woman, his voice gentle.
"Don't be angry, have something to eat."
百里冥法术变出彼岸花，送到女人面前，一脸讨好。
"Qingqing~"
Several men surrounded the woman, wearing a smile that made one's scalp tingle, each trying to please her.
Lian Qing is precisely counting one by one, as his eyes shift to Nan Gong Banxia.
"As the elder of Meng, do not neglect your duty."
Nan Gong Banxia saw that the woman's face was not good, so she nodded.
"I understand."
Lian Qing turned his head and looked at the enchanting man, his voice calm.
"The Demon Realm cannot be without a ruler for a day. Zhuxi cannot hold on for much longer. You should go back immediately."
Wen Zixian paused his hand that was stroking his hair, standing upright with a serious expression on his face.
"Okay."
Lü Zhezhi thought that the woman was going to talk about herself, but she skipped herself directly.
"I..."
As soon as he opened his mouth to say a word, he silently shrank back.
Lian Qing has always disliked him.
"Let's just forget about it."
Lian Qing looked at Baili Ming, frowning.
"As the Lord of the Underworld, you wander around like a child. Have you finished handling the official documents of the Underworld?"
Baili Ming awkwardly smiled.
"Um, then I'll leave first."
After speaking, South Gong Banxia left quickly.
Wen Zixian walked to Lu Zhezhi's side and patted his shoulder, with a warning and threat.
"Qin Qing is not allowed to get hurt, otherwise..."
The last sentence was left unsaid.
His eyes turned dangerous, emitting a chilling indifference that made people tremble in fear.
"Understand?"
Luzhi showed no signs of being affected and casually patted the back of his hand.
"Goodbye."
Wen Zixian bit her teeth bitterly.
"Hmph! I will be back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her body turned into a blue smoke and disappeared from the spot.
——
The noisy crowd finally left, leaving a bit of emptiness behind.
Lü Zézhī smiled and lowered his head, picking up the pastry and handing it to the woman's lips.
"It's very delicious, try it."
He straightened his body and took a step back, his gaze locking onto the man's eyes.
"Still unwilling to speak?"
Luzhezhi's smile at the corner of his mouth stiffened, and his hand holding the pastry tightened, causing the pastry to crumble and fall to the ground.
"I really don't know."
Lianqing didn't continue to press on with questions.

She walked up to the man and picked up a piece of pastry from the plate, looking at it for a moment.
"Did you make it yourself?"
Lu Zhezhi didn't come to his senses all at once and didn't understand the woman's sudden question. He nodded.

"Want to try?"
A deep voice filled with cautious anticipation.
Lanqing shook her head.
"Not a fan of sweets."
Luzhezhi's eyes darkened with disappointment.
"Understood."
As he lowered his head, Lanqing quickly fed him the pastry into his mouth.
"How does it taste?"
Luzhezhi opened his eyes wide and bit into the pastry.
"Hmm..."
The woman's fingers still pinched the pastry, and he blushed and stuttered.
"Uh, yes, good, delicious."
The woman's eyes were calm, without any fluctuation from the man's blushing.
"Do you...like me?"
It was the first time she referred to herself as "I" instead of "this old body".
Lu Zhezhi stared at the woman intently.
"Yes, I do."
His heartbeat was fast, his ears were slightly red, and he stayed in that posture without moving, without blinking his eyes.
"Really like it."
She discreetly extended her hand to push the pastry, feeding him until he finished eating all of it.
She drew back her hand and wiped it with a handkerchief to remove the residue and crumbs on her fingers.
"Is Qin Fengyue's death related to you?"
Luo Zhezhi suddenly turned pale and dare not meet the woman's gaze.
"I'm sorry, it, it was me who killed her."
Lian Qing was stunned, took a few steps back to create distance between them.
She thought that seeing is not necessarily believing.
Now, hearing him admit the truth, why does it feel so stifling in her heart.
Luzhizhi panicked all of a sudden, and the pastries in his hand fell to the ground.
"Lian Qing, I'm sorry!"
After much difficulty, they had finally gotten a little closer, and now they were not as unfamiliar as before.
I'm sorry, please don't hate him.
Lian Qing quickly sorted out her emotions and turned to walk into the house, leaving behind a sentence.
"I'm very disappointed in you."
Boom!
Liu Zhi's tightly strung heartstring broke, his face pale and his body swaying.
"Hide and clear!"
He ran towards the room, but was bounced back to the ground by a fluctuation of barrier energy.
"Bang!"
"I'm sorry..."
Luzuqi sat on the ground, his voice choked up.
"I'm sorry."
He kept repeating this sentence, and a few pieces of pastry scattered around him, his trembling body pathetic and pitiful.
——
Fairy Realm.
Since the last barrier explosion in the Fairy Realm, caused by the power of thunder and lightning, many creatures have lost their lives.
In recent days, the Fairy Realm has been immersed in sorrow.
The forest plants have not recovered, and the ground is covered with destructive traces.
Wen Zixian has seen all the places.
The once bustling and beautiful places are now in a mess.
"Tsk."
He quickly used a spell to restore its original appearance.
Such a powerful energy fluctuation naturally also attracted many fairies to come over.
"Oh, Lord has returned!"
"Everyone, come quickly!"
"Great news! Lord has finally come back!"
The voices of the fairies spread throughout the fairy realm, and everyone soon learned about the news.
Zhuxi hurried over and saw the man bowing.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
Wen Zixian waved his hand casually.
"Get up, Zhuxi, the others can do their own things."
"Yes, yes, understood."
The onlookers disappeared in an instant.
Zhuxi stood silently on the side without saying a word.
Zhongli really found Zhongshang.
——
Wen Zixian inquired about what had happened after he left the realm of demons.
List down every single word of Zhuxi.
"Most of the escaped demons have been brought back and are now being held in the dungeon."
Wen Zixian was slightly stunned.
"So she has done so much."
Zhuxi said that Lian Qing has been searching for him.
Lian Qing strengthened the energy of the barrier in the demon world and went to the human world to subdue the escaped demons.
He felt moved in his heart and smiled with a hearty voice.
"You have worked hard these days."
“给你放假休息，本尊闭关无事误扰。”
温子羡交代完直接离开。
"Yes!"
竹溪没有因为男人笑容特别高兴，反而有些毛骨悚然，露出冷汗。
Why are you so afraid of Zunshang?
Because Zunshang wanted to chop her up and feed her to the mice, leaving a shadow in her heart...
Zhuxi remembers that scene and feels like crying without tears.
——
Hades.
The dark palace echoes with the sighs of men.
Sigh!

At the top, Baili Ming rests his chin on his hand, playing with a brush out of boredom.
"Sigh..."
Can't see Qingqing.
Can't accompany her.
Can't leave the Underworld.
Otherwise... Qingqing will dislike it!

"Sigh..."
Through the wide open doors of the palace, the souls lined up on the Naihe Bridge could be seen.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he jumped off the chair, turned around, and disappeared in an instant.
